Watch the New American Murder Song Music Video: Press Release: "As Messrs. Storm and Tender, Saar Hendelman and Terrance Zdunich invite folks to go back in time with them to 1816, when a young America was pushing west against a bloody and hostile frontier. Her trails and ports were bustling with the promise of the New World, and, for the cold and road-weary men who passed through Charleston, South Carolina, The Six-Mile Inn offered respite with warm ale and a warm bed. It also served as a hunting ground for its owner, Pretty Lavinia Fisher: America's first purported female serial killer.... and the dusty hall of AMERICAN MURDER SONG's first music video, “The Six-Mile Inn”.

In “The Six-Mile Inn”, Messrs. Storm and Tender play a dangerous game of chance and conjure the spirits of early American killers, including Pretty Lavinia, the beautiful but deadly barkeep, who lured and poisoned her Inn's wealthy patrons. Fans can check out the full music video here: https://youtu.be/WMFvmuMMf6o

These early killers that Messrs. Storm and Tender summon to the Six-Mile Inn are featured in the ballads on AMERICAN MURDER SONG's first two EPs: I. DAWN and II. PROVIDENCE, which is produced by Scotty Morris of BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY.

Cult film composers Terrance Zdunich and Saar Hendelman are no strangers to creating dark, visual worlds with music. They tackled industrial opera with 2008's REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA, sideshow cabaret with 2012's THE DEVIL'S CARNIVAL, the celestial big band in 2015's ALLELUIA! THE DEVIL'S CARNIVAL and is now exploring the murder ballads genre in their historical film/concept-album project, AMERICAN MURDER SONG.

I. DAWN and II. PROVIDENCE are both now available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and AMERICAN MURDER SONG's official site (www.AmericanMurderSong.com/music).

Joining Terrance and Saar in “The Six-Mile Inn” are Sara “Chibi” Taylor, lead singer of the beloved gothic rock band THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE as Sweet Rosalie, an escaped mental patient who leaves a trail of dead in her wake, gothic personality Aurelio Voltaire as Unwed Henry, a seductive, drunkard wife killer, and Alissa White-Gluz, frontwoman for the Swedish death metal act ARCH ENEMY as the infamous Pretty Lavinia.

To celebrate the release of “The Six-Mile Inn”, Terrance and Saar are hosting an intimate live event in Los Angeles this Thursday night, June 30th, at Fonogenic Studios (7710 Haskell Avenue, Van Nuys, CA). There, the genre-defying duo will screen their new music video as well as a play a set of live songs from I. DAWN and II. PROVIDENCE.
